Introduction to Special Issue on Advanced Technologies Driving “Dynamic Collaboration” — Featuring Hardware Platforms By Kazuhiko KOBAYASHI* As hardware platforms to support “Dynamic Collaboration” age, NEC provides computer products into which we have greatly invested the world’s highest standards of technologies acquired from experience with mainframes and supercomputers, as well as storage p...

this study aims to investigate the relationship between information literacy, computer self-efficacy and academic performance in a population of 1054 of ba and ma students of psychology and educational sciences faculty of tehran university. the data are collected in a sample of 283 students (103 ba and 180 ma); selected using cochran's sampling formula. these students answered mittermeyer ...

Natural products continue to be reported at an astonishing rate from a wide range of multidisciplinary research activities in the pursuit understanding chemistry biodiversity. However, elucidation chemical structure modern era is heavily reliant on analysis and interpretation multiple spectroscopic outputs, most cases this activity by no means trivial. Structural errors described given inherent...

The problem of nding an optimal product sequence for sequential multiplication of matrices (the matrix chain ordering problem, MCOP) is well-known and has been studied for a long time. In this paper, we consider the problem of nding an optimal product schedule for evaluating a chain of matrix products on a parallel computer (the matrix chain scheduling problem, MCSP). The diierence between MCSP...

Propositional dynamic logic (PDL for short) [5] is an expressive, powerful and convenient logical tool to reason about programs or actions. It has found applications in various fields of computer science, which range from program verification to multi-agent systems. In computer science applications, the modal logic S5 is generally accepted as an adequate representation of the notion of knowledg...

Electronic payments for services rendered or products purchased are extremely common in much of the developed world. For instance, many large companies in USA regularly conduct seventy to eighty percent of their interactions with suppliers and banks electronically. The Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standards and products used to achieve this are fairly mature. Typically such transactions oc...

Parallel Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) is the workhorse technology for most of the storage applications in DIGITAL products today. This device and interconnect technology spans all system offerings from the simplest to the most complex. SCSI was introduced to the higher-end products in the early 1990s as the open systems follow-on to the DIGITAL proprietary Digital Storage System Inter...

The use of CAE tools in digital logic and computer circuit design is growing in importance in two separate but closely related areas: first, by allowing the design team to bring new products to market faster, and second, to provide the tools needed to cope with the complexity and density of the integrated circuits used in the products. This paper describes our experiences in integrating commerc...

Alloplastic total replacement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was developed in recent decades. In some conditions, previous studies suggested the rationale behind alloplastic TMJ replacement rather than reconstruction with autogenous grafts. Currently, three prosthetic products are available and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. Among these products, customized prostheses ar...
